New Leadership Skills for Client Service Professionals: Moving From Account Manager to Brand Leader

Agency-client relationships have changed dramatically in the last 10 years. The days of exclusive, long-term relationships have been replaced by not only more project-oriented work, but the new reality of agencies functioning in a federation of specialized marketing communications firms serving a single client.

Especially for client service professionals, this new environment requires a more nimble collaborative approach that can introduce a new level of complexity in dealing with multiple internal and external stakeholders.

On June 5, join Tim Williams of Ignition Consulting Group in a full day seminar sponsored by the South Texas Council, as he looks at the new leadership and management skills that are required to be a successful client service professional today, including:

* Your role as a strategic generalist who employs the skills and resources of specialists

When it comes to managing client relationships, your job is not just to be efficient, but rather effective. Workshop participants will come away with a new perspective on how to optimize their professional success and a new understanding of how to provide better leadership both internally and with their clients.

Who Should Attend

While many of the concepts are geared specifically for client service, all senior professionals who interface directly with clients can benefit from this workshop.
